Karpathy LLM Wiki

What it is

This skill turns your AI assistant into a wiki manager that reads your sources — articles, papers, notes, transcripts — and builds a structured, cross-referenced knowledge base for you. Unlike traditional search or RAG, it compiles knowledge once and keeps it current, so you don't re-derive the same insights every time. Perfect for anyone building up expertise in a domain over time.

What it does

• Reads your sources and creates structured markdown wiki pages with summaries, key facts, and cross-references
• Updates existing pages when new sources add information, and flags contradictions between sources
• Answers questions by synthesizing across your wiki pages with inline citations
• Runs health checks to find contradictions, orphaned pages, missing cross-references, and gaps in your knowledge base
• Maintains a master index and operation log so you always know what's in your wiki and how it evolved

Use it when

• You're researching a topic over weeks or months and want to compound your learning instead of re-reading
• You need to track information from multiple sources and spot where they agree or contradict
• You're building expertise in a domain and want a searchable, structured knowledge base that grows with you
• You want your AI to remember what you've already processed and build on it, not start from scratch each time
